In fact, Murphy was correct, despite the fact that only ten minutes of the lesson remained because of assembly and not knowing where the class was. This time was spent sketching a picture of a dog's head. Sounds quick and easy, right? But he'd already accumulated six mistakes in the span of four minutes, and paper aeroplanes were fired in anger across the room, one of them landing in someone's hair, and the rest making essentially-perfect shots. If there was a Grammarly or Simply Guitar for art, then Murphy would have slapped his phone on the table and would have been immediately been using it while blasting out Cavetown at full volume.
None of these would work though, so he used the remaining six minutes trying to make a decent drawing without losing his composure on an unbelievable scale. This plan was going well, until another fail was hurtled past the teacher and into the same person that Murphy had accidently hit earlier. Then, that same sheet of paper was sent back in retaliation, only to have hit Mr. Ling instead.
The room was filled with laughter, and then a forced, eerie silence.
